Quartz countertop care: simple rules for every day

 

Tips for daily care

 

Daily care of a quartz countertop should become part of your usual routine. By ensuring proper regular cleaning of such a surface, you will forget about persistent stains and dirt residues.

 

First of all, you need to wipe the surface from dust every day. To do this, use a soft cloth or sponge. To achieve a better effect, you can pre-moisten them in a soapy solution. In no case do not use prickly brushes, scrapers or other sharp objects that can damage the countertop.

 

Avoid using hot water during wet cleaning. Warm water will do an excellent job of cleaning the surface without the risk of damage. After that, immediately wipe off any moisture with a dry, soft cloth. This will help avoid water spots and ensure shine.

 

 

What chemicals should not be used

 

It is best to remove stains with a soap solution. Sometimes you can use chemicals to clean the countertop. However, this must be done with extreme caution so as not to damage the surface. Please note that the following are dangerous for such a countertop:

 

• detergents that have a pH level outside the normal range of 5-9;
• agents containing trichloroethane or methylene chloride;
• abrasive powders, particles of which can leave scratches on the countertop;
• ammonia-based or bleach-based products;
• oil-based cleaners, etc.

 

 

How to deal with stubborn stains and food stains

 

A quartz countertop made of Avant Quartz is resistant to stains and household dirt. If you wipe away traces of food, drinks or other substances immediately, the risk of residual stains is minimal.

 

Of course, it is not always possible to wipe the surface instantly. Therefore, it becomes necessary to use additional products. You can carefully clean the surface of the countertop from persistent dirt using:

 

1. A soft sponge with soapy water. You can quickly remove stains using a soft sponge or cloth. It is better to eliminate dirt using a soap mixture or a non-aggressive detergent.
2. A special gel. You can remove organic dirt with a gel for cleaning bathrooms and kitchen surfaces. Before using, carefully read the composition of the product to make sure that there are no acids.
3. A degreaser. Sometimes an alcohol-containing degreaser or low-percentage alcohol can be used to remove persistent stains. However, this must be done especially carefully.
4. A special scraper or a delicate brush with detergent. This method should only be used in extreme cases when nothing can remove dried-on food particles, chewing gum, nail polish, or paint splatters. Use a nylon scraper or soft-bristled brush to gently remove dirt particles, then wipe the surface with a special detergent.

 

 

How to keep your quartz countertop looking great for years

 

Not only high-quality cleaning helps to keep your quartz countertop looking great. Following the product’s operating instructions will extend its service life for many years. Countertops made from Avant Quartz material will retain their original appearance longer if you:

• avoid contact with aggressive substances on the surface.

 

Regular, gentle cleaning and simple maintenance of your quartz countertop will help preserve its aesthetic and technical characteristics for a long time. By using safe cleaning products and taking care of it, you can enjoy using it for a long time.
